Syn-ake is a topical anti-aging treatment that was developed by the Swedish company Pentapharm Ltd., and is designed to relax expression lines that are known to cause wrinkles. This ingredient, which is used in several different products that are designed to fight aging, is a synthetic form of snake venom. Syn-ake replicates the effects of a peptide that is known as Waglerin 1, which is a component of the venom found in the Temple Viper, a poisonous snake native to southeast Asia. This serum can either be used on its own or added to any moisturizing cream, or other skin care product as an anti-aging element
